This data from the Arizona prison system includes ALL prisoners over 32 years. It is all the data that is available from the Arizona system. Please explain exactly how this is cherry picking. My work always tries to use all the data available. What you don’t understand is how the other studies either rely on mixing illegal and legal aliens together or relying on them to accurately answer whether they are illegal and whether they have a criminal record.

They are by U.S. law, “illegal aliens”. To name them “immigrants” is to confer on them a quasi-legal status that they have neither earned or deserve.

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 18:58:01 +0000https://crimeresearch.org/?p=18938#comment-43108Mark Hampton referred to “Undocumented immigrants” as the problem, where honest folks on vacation in the US, forgot their documents. He and others making excuses for them will never admit the problem is illegal aliens, coming into our country in an unlawful manner, committing serious violent crimes against not only lawful US citizens, but other illegal aliens as well. That latter category greatly under reported, and thus not reflected in studies. In my 37 year law enforcement career, I’ve encountered the problem time and again.

Sat, 27 Jan 2018 15:05:57 +0000https://crimeresearch.org/?p=18938#comment-43077I can tell you from personal experience living in Az. for 25 years that illegals are a curse on the state and the country . I cant ell yo the many crimes of people I know personally that had crimes committed against them by illegals . My son alone had his car stolen with all his possessions in it as he was moving , They found it later burned up in the desert ,mostly they take it mexico or a chop shop . Thousands of auto accidents where the illegals jump out of the car and leave it there . My son was at the ATM machine and 4 Mexicans jumped him and beat him seriously . My friends have had crimes against them . The Phoenix police Dept will tell you they dont even bother taking police reports anymore from accidents because the illegals use alias’s never using their real names. I had a neighbor that was cut with a knife across their arms stopped at a light while illegals stole his car . Mesa ,Az had a serial rapists for 8 months and when finally found he was an illegal. I could go on but I know what the crime is nobody or their research will ever convince Americans any different than living the nightmare . When speaking with my foster sons friend who was from Mexico said “we only come here to make fast money send it home and within a few years we can build a beautiful house in Mexico . We dont care about Americans or this country ” Even my foster son who came as a refugee from Nicaragua was disgusted by what his friend said . Thats what this country is dealing with on a 8. on the Richter Scale .

Sat, 27 Jan 2018 15:01:03 +0000https://crimeresearch.org/?p=18938#comment-43075I am involved with a Community Watch Program and the social media platform called, Nextdoor in Chico, California. 8 out of 10 subjects that are arrested for crimes are in the United States illegally from Mexico. We have seen an increase in illegals from Mexico and crimes committed by Mexican illegals. Gov. Jerry Brown and Lt. Gov Gavin Newsome have contributed greatly to illegal entry and crimes after making California a sanctuary state. Chico, California reports a homeless population of between 1500 and 3000 people. We have no idea how many of the Mexican illegals are part of the homeless population.

Wed, 24 Jan 2018 11:45:26 +0000https://crimeresearch.org/?p=18938#comment-42967From my experience in Illinois with both citizens, legal and illegal aliens, the vast majority of crime is never captured in police reports, let alone court records or prison records.

Maybe 90% of murders are in the murder statistics. But at the other extreme, less than 5% of burglaries are in those statistics. Less than 20% of arsons are in arson statistics (my specialty).

Statistics on court records cannot be extrapolated to the entire society without a lot of other substantiation.

1) Parole was abolished in Arizona as of January 1, 1994. “The Arizona Legislature passed truth-in-sentencing laws in 1993. Laws 1993, Chapter 255, altered earned release mechanisms and abolished parole for offenses committed on or after January 1, 1994.” The results are even strengthened if you only examine the period after that date.https://www.azleg.gov/briefs/Senate/TRUTH%20IN%20SENTENCING.pdf

2) There is another way of measuring the severity of crimes by undocumented immigrants and that is instead of looking at the number of days in prison, you look at the relative share of undocumented immigrants committing the most serious violent crimes. And again they are over-represented by that measure.
